About this pattern

Happy crocheting!

✓ Main yarn – I used 50 g of skin “Baby” by Vita (Fingering, 100% acrylic) that has 400 m in a 100 g skein.

Tip: You can use any yarn (wool, acrylic, etc). The thicker the yarn, the bigger your toy will be. See the gauge section.

✓ Yarn for the wings – it should be slightly thinner than your main yarn. I used 15 g of white “Angora Fine” by Seam (50% mohair, 50% nylon) that has 300m in a 50 g skein.

✓ Very fine yarn for the dress – I used 15 g of white “Kid Royal” by Alize (Lace, 62% mohair, 32% polyamid) that has 250m in a 25 g skein.

✓ Any yarn for the hair – I used 50 g of “Karakul Stretch” by Kamteks (44% wool, 44% acrylic, 10% cotton, 2% lycra) that has 145 m in a 100 g skein. TIP: You can find yarn in this shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/LittleOwlsHutRUSSIAN

✓ Matching crochet hook. I used 2 mm steel crochet hook (US 1, UK 1). ✓ Thick knitting needles to knit the dress – I used 5-6 mm. ✓ A pair of ready-made eyes – I used 15 mm in diameter.

✓ False eyelashes. ✓ Single core copper PVC electrical wire (optional) – I used wire

approximately 150 cm / 59 inches long 1.0 mm in diameter. ✓ Tapestry needle, transparent glue ✓ Stuffing ✓ Adhesive fabric tape approximately 1 cm wide to work up the wire ends

(optional) ✓ Any material to tint the toy (optional) – I used oil pastels.

Materials and tools The toy is crocheted in continuous spirals without joining the rounds. You will need a stitch marker to keep track of where the beginning of each round starts. Move the marker up to the first stitch of the next round after finishing the previous one. If you don't have a stitch marker you can always use a scrap of contrasting yarn instead. You can see it in my photos. I use USA terminology for my pattern (don’t worry if you use UK terms, all the differences are explained in the pattern). Finished size Approx. 30 cm (11.8 inches) tall using the materials stated in the pattern.

Tip (make it right) If there are no special notes, the toy is crocheted under both parts of the loop. In some rows, there are special notes: ‘into the front loop only’ or ‘into the back loop only’. In that case, you need to follow these instructions.

Abbreviations ch(s) = chain(s) st(s) = stitch(es) sl st = slip stitch sc(s) = single crochet(s) inc(s) = increasing(s) (2 sc in 1 st) dec(s) = decreasing(s) (sc2tog) Rnd = round together dc = double crochet If there is a record in the brackets in the pattern, multiplied by some number, for example (3 sc, 1 inc) x 3, it means you need to repeat this action 3 times, that is 3 sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, 1 inc.

TIP (yarn) If you use different yarn, the toy will be bigger or smaller and you will need more or less yarn and wire than stated in the pattern (i.e. thicker yarn will produce a larger toy and you may require more yarn).

Tip (gauge) When making toys, you should use a much smaller hook than recommended for the yarn you choose. Make sure you crochet tight enough; otherwise, the stuffing will show through the holes.

Tip (make it right) When making toys the right side looks like this:

And the backside looks like this:

Tip (shift stitch) While working, you will need to keep the work

symmetrical. As work tends to twist to the right

you need to adjust position of the marker

periodically (beginning of round). If you notice that

marker moves right, you need to work one extra

stitch in the end of round and move marker for one

stitch (now 2nd st of the round becomes 1st). If you

notice that the marker moves left, you need to

unravel one stitch (or more if needed). This is shift

stitch – it is not included in description of rounds. Usually you have to do shift stitches every 3-5

rounds (depending on the yarn, hook and your

gauge). To check if it is time to work shift stitch fold

your work in half and check if marker still goes

straight.

You should keep the marker in a straight line on

some parts of the toy. Instructions for the marker

are given in the description of each part of the toy if

needed.

Gauge (if you want the toy to be the size mentioned in the pattern)

Crochet a swatch using your yarn and matching

crochet hook to make sure that you have chosen the

right yarn and hook for the toy 30 cm (11.8 inches)

tall.

Instruction for the swatch:

Rnd 1: 6 sc in a magic ring

Rnd 2: 6 inc = 12 sts

Rnd 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) x 6 = 18 sts

Rnd 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) x 6 = 24 sts

Rnd 5: (3 sc, 1 inc) x 6 = 30 sts

Rnd 6: (4 sc, 1 inc) x 6 = 36 sts

Rnd 7: (5 sc, 1 inc) x 6 = 42 sts

Compare your swatch with the one in the next

picture. They should be the same size (the diameter

of my swatch is approximately 4.5 cm/1.8 inches). If

not, take bigger or smaller hook than you used

before (depending on the result) and work another

swatch. If it does not help – choose different yarn

and make another swatch.

TIP (round marker) Do not remove the round markers until you finish

assembling the toy or it is said in the pattern.

Before you start All parts of the doll are worked with main yarn.

If you decide to use safety eyes, we recommend that

you read the pattern through first and then decide

when it is more convenient for you to attach them.

Arm (make 2) Fingers (for both hands) Take care with your tension when crocheting the

chains for the fingers to end up with similar-looking

fingers.

The fingers are worked the same way for both hands.

Ch 5 and work 4 sl st back along the chain starting

from 2nd st from the hook. Repeat three more times.

5



Ch 1 and work 4 sc across the base of the fingers.

Turn your work to the wrong side, ch 1 and work

around these 4 sts in a spiral the way you would

work around the foundation chain:

4 sc into the front loop only, turn your work to the

right side and work 4 sc along the opposite side into

the remaining unworked loops = 8 sts

6



Continue working in a spiral into both loops of the

stitch.
